Counting your 'days' on the hill.

I would say 8-8 is one day but it is one hell of a day of riding.  If you get on a lift and link some turns I count that.  If you have a backyard jib session I would also count that.

Oh it is going to be hell alright.  Temps in the single digits.  Snow falling the whole time.  Riding from 8-8.  It is going to be a doozy.

any day you strap in n go (ON SNOW not carpet) counts.
hopefully the time spent on snow averages out.
there are days where I go for an hour, and other days I go for 7 or 8 hrs or more... most nights I ride for at least 3hrs (7-10 during the week).

My bro and I are doing 30 days of madness in January... gonna try to get to the hill for 30 consecutive days. we're counting one run days, but it's kind like Lays - you can never have just one

lift count for me too.  

I don't count the day I stayed for less than an hour and didn't do the lift...

yeah.  there was one time where we could only stay for 2 hours because it started dumping and the roads were going to close, but I still counted it as a day. 

it's a day

I have studied this topic to a science and here are my findings:

Mike.M is an ANIMAL when it comes to shredding!!!  If I could pick one person to ride with on a regular basis from this site it would be him for sure!!!!!  He helped me progress more in one day than I did the month previous.  It was seriously the most fun day I think I may have ever had on the hill.  I can't wait to shred with him again during the annual Bruizzapalooza!!!!!

i keep a spreadsheet on google docs. can update from any computer with the interweb.

10 minutes or 10 hours = 1 day as long as the board touches snow and I'm strapped in.

^^^even if you left your board outside and you get a snowfall?

Every day I have ever gone riding I have gone as long as physical possible. No going to a cafe or fancy eatery, I have a few sandwiches in my pocket and eat them while riding. Or I buy a burger and chocolate milk and eat that while riding.


A lot of the time I ride from an hour before lifts start until an hour after they close. So about 11 hours each day. Thats no joke.

I don't count the days anymore, I just count on going

I count any day i make a turn, be it a quick little turn to check my speed before i hit my front yard rail, or a huge arcing gash on a black.

I count any day I am on the snow. I'm only at 3 days this year, 4 after tomorrow. Hopefully will be a lot more by spring.

i rarely ride more than 5 hours in a day (go hard and straight... haha that's what she said)...

Yes Phat we will be able to hang.  The real question here is are you going to be able to hang.  Keep in mind the bases of all our mountains are above 10k feet.  The altitude will get you buddy!

Was there any question about going out drinking???

I know about the altitude, but I'm only there for 3 days really so I can rest when I get home

very sad that i count my days and take pictures of them.

Originally posted by hoon very sad that i count my days and take pictures of them.

Not sad at all. I also take a picture a day on the mountain to tally my days, that way each picture is date stamped so I can go back and know exactly when it was and it helps me track progress. I know exactly the day I started hitting rails, boxes, walls, kickers, grabs and how high I got. I count each day that I rode for at least two hours as a day. I figure the days that I ride day AND night 9-9 help even out some of the days that I only rode 4-5 hours. Either way, I count them as one day per day even if I hit multiple mountains. I have a handful of days that I rode Beaver Creek or Vail during the day then headed to Keystone to get some night rides in, still only counts as 1. If I spend 2+ hours riding the pass I count that as one day too.

i need to ride more :)

i dont count my days. i dont count my shots of alcohol either. i just do it !!

i dont count i just go when i go and ride when im there doesnt matter to me how long i stay there for when im ready to go i go.. i dont force myself to stay

Originally posted by kyleighcloo it dont count unless i stay for at least 4 hours...

Yeah, I like to stay for at least 4 hours too or else I'd feel like I wasted my money on the lift ticket and the long drive to Tahoe. Then the drive back to SF or SJ.
